A client with an infection needs both antibiotics as soon a possible. However, the pH of ampicillin is 8–10,
and the pH of gentamicin is 3–5.5 (making them incompatible when given together). Flushing well between
drugs is necessary. Choice 3 is incorrect because the PN determines the correct steps and consults with the
pharmacist and the physician as necessary. Choice 4 is incorrect because delaying the second medication by
several hours slows the treatment of the client’s infection.Pharmacological Therapies
